I have never met anybody that cant decide? you either like it low or like it high. and if its a 2 wheel drive and you don't want to lift it that does not mean you need to lower it. if anything leave the suspension alone and do whatever else you want to it.

That's my point. If you love lifted trucks how could you lower what I am assuming is gonna be your daily driver? I say leave it alone, its a nice truck and I really like the color. Just put some more aggressive tires and any rims other than those you have.

i plan on putting another blue on it like a little darker blue because this blue has many flaws from previous owner and where people dinged it with doors so there is little different color scratches but with the rims and tires i plan on doin just that. i may get some wheels from a junkyard or something and fix them up and possibly get some knobby used tires if i can find some

I have to part with a couple of these guys. Leave it bone stock. Dont lower or lift. I loved my truck stock for years and only recently lifted it with a 3" PA body lift (it was $200). I lifted it so I could get bigger tires under it due to the crappy roads in the area I hunt. If it is your daily driver, leave it alone. Do the convert to a ranger, put some decent wheels and tires under it and call it yours. With it being 2WD the center of gravity will be better planted giving you more consistant traction in the rough stuff. Just my .02
